SMITHFIELD, R.I. - The Quinnipiac University field hockey team lost

the Bryant Turf Complex in Smithfield, R.I. With the loss,

the 12 shots she saw for the day for her seventh double-digit save
effort of the season and 18th of her career.

Tia Pydynkowski put Bryant on top less than three minutes into the
second half when a blast from the top of the circle beat Grossman
to the right side of the goal. The Bulldogs added another goal with
five minutes left in the game when Courtney Landi hooked up with
Elise Boissoneau fo r the goal with a player advantage after
Quinnipiac was given a yellow card seconds before.

Quinnipiac returns to action on Friday, Oct. 30 when it hosts
Robert Morris in a Northeast Conference game at 4 p.m. at the
Quinnipiac Field Hockey & Lacrosse Turf Field in Hamden,
Conn.
